    Can someone put this in perspective for me?

    I hear that lots of members don't find any gold for months if not years. i have a friend who spent $10,000 on a minelab a couple of years ago and has 2 small nuggets to show for it. i am retired with a small van i have access to a couple of properties in the pretty gully, and the ewingar forest...

    Accesssing creeks on private property

    I can't believe the comments about going on to farmers land without their permission, it is a wonder you don't get shot, all farmers have guns. Have a business card made up showing your personal details, be polite and abide by their rules, it is their land, get over it. i just read jack lange's...

    landowners approval

    I am an ex farmer, I have always allowed campers etc on my land Have any of you approached farmers in gold producing areas if you can fossik on their land. I would imagine most property owners would oblige as long as you abide by their rules. maybe offer a six pack of stubbies?

    New way to find gold

    what ever you do don't try and patent it. everyone will steal it. keep it as a trade secret is the best in my considerable experience.
